5 liquid as it passes thru the dispenser.

Another object is shown in' the method of operating the intake and thereleasevalves.

Other objects will be noted from the follow ing description togetherwith the accompany- 10 ingdrawings.

. Referring to the drawings: j

Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of the pump type dispenser with the lowerrelease valve open and the measure being filled. I

Fig. 2 shows a side elevation of the gravity type dispenser with thelever release valve closed and the container filled.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged front view of the dispenser with the lower releasevalve closed and 20 the upper release valve compressed to allow thecontainer to fill from the tank.

Fig. 4 is a side elevation of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a broken away sectionshowing the lower release valve in the open position.

5 Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the lower release valve.

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the valve releasing lever.

8 is a top view of the locking cap for the oil tank.

' Fig. 9 is a bottom view of the locking cap. Fig. 10 is a sideelevation of the looking cap. Again referring to the drawings, the pumptank is shown at 1 and the gravity tank at 1A. each being equipped witha locking cap 2 which has a protruding portion 8 which slides under theedge of the opening 4 holding the cap 2 firmly in position when the keyis turned in the lock 5.

Gravity tank 1A is also provided with an air vent 6 to allow the oil toflow freely into the glass container 7, this air vent is held inposition with lock nuts 8 where it connects to tank 1A and top cover 26of the container. 45 The oil flows into the container through pipeQeither by way of the gravity tank 1A or by the use of the pump frompump tank 1, and it is admitted by pushing up on rod 11, which supportslever arm 12, until adjusting screw 13 strikes and opens upper inletvalve 50 r 14:, which permits the flow of liquid into the glasscontainer 7.

The rod 11 is then drawn down until spring arm 15 trips register arm 16and after register arm 16 is tripped arm 12 engages the arm 17 55 ofvalve 18 which automatically opens, re leasing the oil from the glasscontainer 7, the, register 19 automatically registering the amount ofoil that flows through into pipe 20 to valve 21 and is released to themeasure 22 by drawing the valve lever 23 forward thus. opening valve 21.

Spring arm 15' is fastened to lever arm 12 by suitable means at itsupperend, allowing the spring arm '15 to retain its flexibility.

The registering device 19 is fastened to an upright post24 which is aninte ral part of the base 25.

The glass container 7 is suspended between base 25 and top cover 26which are connected by rods 27 through bosses 28 in'top cover 26 andbosses 29 in base 25 and secured by nuts 30.

It will be seen that e ery time the container 7 is filled and emptiedthe register 19 will be operated to indicate the amount of liquiddispensed, and will thus provide a check on the sales.
